5G-XHaul: a converged optical and wireless solution for 5G transport networks
The common European ICT sector vision for 5G is that it should leverage on the strengths of both optical and wireless technologies. In the 5G context, a wide spectra of radio access technologies – such as millimetre wave transmission, massive MIMO, and new waveforms – demand for high capacity, highly flexible and convergent transport networks. As the requirements imposed on future 5G networks r...
